Rússia tenta repelir incursão da Ucrânia

By Jordi Bou

August 9, 2024 - Os militares russos procuram repelir uma incursão transfronteiriça na região ocidental de Kursk, quando os relatos sugerem que as tropas ucranianas estão a avançar até 35km da fronteira.

In one of the biggest Ukrainian attacks on Russia since the war began in February 2022, around 1,000 Ukrainian troops rammed through the Russian border in the early hours of Aug 6 with tanks and armoured vehicles, covered in the air by swarms of drones and pounding artillery, according to Russian officials.

Russian military bloggers reported Ukrainian advances as deep as 35 kilometres from the border, the Institute for the Study of War said on its assessment on Aug 8.

This represents the deepest cross-border advance by Kyiv since Moscow launched a full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Russia is now moving reinforcements to the Kursk region, state-run media report, citing the country's defence ministry.
